added a new feature to empathy!

Yea, 'twas a handsome amount of code for anyone's second fix :) , but choosing this was a conscious decision! While looking for a resolution, I was exposed to some of the important and frequently used data structures in GTK, like GtkTreeModel interface and its GtkListStore and GtkTreeStore implementations. I used widgets like GtkComboBox, GTkToolBar, GtkToolButton and Gtk core reference - stock items while creating a custom button as this.

About Her

A proud patriot of India, born in Kanpur and brought up in Lucknow. An Asian bringing GNOME to Asia as a GNOME Asia organizing committee member and a world citizen making it a happier place to live by working on open source software. 2010 onward, a contributor to open source projects. 2012-2014, a member of the GNOME Foundation.

She has always had a strong desire for coding and going with her instincts, currently hacks on Linux Kernel and related tools under the flagship of IBM's Linux Technology Center. She left no chance in life of learning what interests her in terms of computing, be it languages, tools or algorithms. She loves puzzles and creates low-complexity, elegant solutions to any problem. Recent experiments have demonstrated her to be possessing sound public-addressing skills too.

To take a break, she prefers changing her surroundings which provides her an insight about the history, culture and discoveries pertinent to the place and its inhabitants. She has toured a lot of India, covering almost the whole of it, and some places beyond her motherland. Each new place opened to her a whole new world of knowledge and memories inexplicable.
